Aden got a package in the mail from a freind of ours with a NEW TRAIN and a train movie! He was in love!

Our tree is finally decorated!

Aden was so cute the other night snuggled on the couch with Snoopy and watching a cartoon - I just had to get a picture. Isn't he handsome?

Christmastime means it's time to decorate cookies! We had a great time watching what wonderful (and chocolate-heavy) creations the kids could come up with.

Miss Mia preferred to eat the cookies rather than design...



Another "goofy face" photo of me...

My dr. appointment this week went great! The baby is growing right on track and has a healthy little heartbeat. (S)he has tiny little hands and feet already, and all the organs are there and continuing to form and mature. I haven't gained anything yet (shocker!) but I'm feeling pretty sick to my stomach and extremely sleepy in the early evenings. Below is a close up of the baby.

The baby's head is on the right, hands right under it and feet curled at the bottom.

Aden was so cute at the mall the other night. He pushed his stroller through the whole mall with his doggie in it. And even stopped to window shop and check a few things out.

We nearly had an issue when he found the hockey rink with players. It was tough getting him away from that!

On our way to see SANTA!

This was our assigned elf to get us through the breakfast line...

Santa!!

Telling Santa what he wants for Christmas...

Family Sleighing....

By the reindeer...

Arbuckle Wilderness was fun! The animals were out and ready to socialize. I have to admit that I now have an irrational fear of camels. They are quite aggressive when it comes to getting food from vans!

Checking out the map...

The backseat group, ready for adventure!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! The day after thanksgiving, we left for Oklahoma to visit Arbuckle Wilderness. Before the animals though, we took a small nature hike through one of the local parks.

Aden didn't want to go anywhere without his stroller....
